Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I got a letter!! I went home on a break today and checked the mail. There was one little letter with my son's strained block print. Inside the envelope were to folded papers. One for me and one for his GF who is staying with me. He say's it's tough and he is striving to do his best but he does miss being lazy...I had to laugh. so good to hear from him and to know that he is probably starting to receive mail from us as well. As the weeks go by things get better for them although he hasn't had his dental done yet so we shall see how he is feeling in the next letter...hopefully this is a sign that Thursdays will be the day we get his letters. With my older son it was Wednesdays. I hope you other parents will be getting your letters today or real soon.

that's wonderful!  We haven't gotten a letter yet but we have gotten two calls.  The first one, my son sounded great.  This weekend he is sick and homesick and wants to come home.  We are so worried about him!
